Artwork

the spell of love still held

*Neon orange handmade watercolor paint, neon colors are challenging to reproduce since it s beyond the limit of the color space. if you see my instagram photo taken outside in Mexico City with an altitude of 7,350ft compared the neon shows up there https://www.instagram.com/p/Cge2kgwuDyU/ Proteas are a flower, this one from Veracruz Mexico, painted in Mexico City during my residency (I dream of the studio space where I paint all night), the protea is the flower I think of from my childhood in South Africa and my daughters childhood, her class was called protea, in our pod school that I helped invent from scratch out in the hill country of Texas, during the year the world shut down. Purchased at Mercado Jamaica in CDMX where I also went to as a little girl and then with my little girl. Mercado Jamaica is a famous flowers market with a rare flower dealer vendor who I went to find for flowers touchingly found these pin cushion proteas to paint.
